The first of two large rooms, the antechamber in Ocarina contains the Door of Time, and the altar on which the three Spiritual Stones are placed. The Temple of Time in Ocarina of Time is more centrally important to the gameplay than that of BOTW's, and the interior design reflects that.

While the two Temples share a common aesthetic, their interiors are quite different. Inside Ocarina of Time & BOTW's Temples of Time If Ocarina's Temple of Time were instead where Lon Lon Ranch is, Breath of the Wild's Hyrule would very nearly be a scaled-up version of Ocarina's. Even the directions to Lake Hylia, Kakariko Village, Zora's Domain, and Gerudo Valley and Desert are nearly the same. Both Temples are almost directly south of Hyrule Castle, and southwest of Death Mountain.

Oddly enough, the Temples of Time's positions relative to the other landmarks aren't that dissimilar.

Ocarina's Temple of Time sits near Hyrule Castle's Market Town, overlooked by Death Mountain.

Drawing parallels between the Zelda games is often difficult because Hyrule is never the same, and the obtuse official timeline of Zelda games doesn't really explain anything beyond a loose chronological order. Though eons have passed since the events of Ocarina, the Temple of Time where Link drew the Master Sword still stands in BOTW - or at least a dilapidated, crumbling version of it. Breath of the Wild is the most recent chronologically, with Ocarina of Time taking place sometime in Hyrule's apocryphal past, and the deeds of the Hero of Time are nothing more than legend at the time of the Calamity. In the Zelda timeline, the two games take place centuries, potentially millennia, away from each other. Released almost 20 years apart, the two are wildly different games, even though both tell the story of Link trying to overcome the destruction wrought by Ganon.

The Legend of Zelda has a reputation of releasing widely celebrated games, and Breath of the Wild and Ocarina of Time are among the most acclaimed.
